Micro/nanoplastics (MNPs), which are widely spread in the environment, have gained attention because of their ability to enter human body mainly through ingestion, inhalation, and skin contact, thus representing a serious health threat. Several studies reported presence MNPs lung tissue potential role MNP inhalation triggering fibrosis tumorigenesis. However, there is paucity knowledge regarding cellular response composed polyethylene (PE), one most common plastic pollutants biosphere. In...
Background: As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, since March 2020, Italian population was forced into lockdown to prevent spread virus. The restrictive measures imposed many organizations and workers work through online platforms no longer in-person. Smart working, enjoyed by some for its flexibility, affected several professional categories. purpose this study investigate whether there are differences in psychological variables related four groups categories (practitioners, managers,...

Young people engage in a variety of behaviours that can have an impact on their health and safety, including driving road accidents, which represent major issue today. Emotions, particular emotional regulation (ER), interact significantly with key elements behaviour, such as risk perception, decision-making, attention. We carried out systematic review considering the presence association between (dys)regulation behaviour young adults (18–25 years). A total 1849 records were selected for...

Adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ASCs) represent a valid therapeutic option for clinical application in several diseases, mostly due to the paracrine activity of their secretome, exerting pro-angiogenic, antinflammatory and immunosuppressive effects. Recently, 3D culturing models has been shown significantly influence intrinsic characteristics these cells, gene expression secretome's composition, thus affecting ASC effects potential. This study aims investigate feasibility exploiting...
The expression pattern of estrogen receptor (ER) isoforms in normal and tumor thyroid tissues is still controversial poor defined, therefore, a more detailed study the distribution these molecules needed. Most discrepancies might be due to methods utilized. We studied ER human papillary carcinoma (PTC), fine-needle aspiration biopsy-derived specimens, cells, using accurate techniques, such as laser-capture microdissection, real-time quantitative PCR, Western blot. Laser-capture...
